Excellent, I hope it gets fixed while there is still time to back-fill
some of this data,,,otherwise we're going to have a silly-looking hole
in the next State of Twitter in St. Louis report :)

Yes, I really need to switch to streaming for that... I just haven't
had he bandwidth as of yet... we are using a Search (nee Summize)
based infrastructure from a long while back and me being the "one guy
in the room", I've not had a chance to really skim through and update
our stuff for streaming.

We do about 68 searches (mostly hashtags, a couple keyword or user
searches--for legacy/coverage guarantees) and 64 timeline follows
(mostly lists, one hometimel).  Each of these sources applies a
"label" based on the source of incoming data (which search/timeline)
for our various categories (see http://stltweets.com and click the
category menus e.g. Blues).  For ALL of these searches, we also apply
a top-level category (e.g. Sports) and finally ALL of the tweets get a
label of "Everything" for ease of seperating various sub-sites.  Thus,
the "Everything" column in my numbers is the overall volume of tweets
from all sources.

SO, am I to assume that the geocode search bug, once fixed, will go
back to returning the tweets from people whose _profile location_
reads something "near St. Louis" like before?

Thanks,
Marc
